| Summary, etc. | Times Literary Supplement ‘A magnificently told history of the world’s largest democracy’ India Today Ramachandra Guha’s India After Gandhi is a magisterial account of the pains, struggles, humiliations and glories of the world’s largest and least likely democracy. A riveting chronicle of the often brutal conflicts that have rocked a giant nation, and of the extraordinary individuals and institutions who held it together, it established itself as a classic when it was first published in 2007. In the years since the publication of the book’s tenth anniversary edition, India has witnessed, among other things, demonetization and a devastating pandemic; Narendra Modi’s re-election as Prime Minister; more violence against women, Dalits, and religious minorities; a wave of prosperity for some but the persistence of poverty for others; the abrogation of Kashmir’s autonomous status; large-scale citizens’ protests and unprecedented state crackdown on dissent. This third edition, revised and expanded, brings the narrative up to the present. Published to coincide with the seventy-fifth anniversary of Gandhi’s assassination, this definitive history of modern India is the work of one of the world’s finest scholars at the height of his powers. |
